Day 2

Richard was mobilizing his men to repair the dilapidated Fort of Herburg.

It shouldn't be called Helburg now, Richard gave Helburg a name that sounded a little middle two after receiving the title of Earl and obtaining the ownership of Helburg, Castle of Demon Suppression, the meaning of which is very obvious,

And apparently Richard was not satisfied with the existence of the Demon Castle as a military fortress, he wanted to follow the model of Ironwood City, build a large number of buildings, operate the Demon Castle as an inner city, build a larger city on the periphery, and completely control the wilderness as his own back garden.

Fortunately, the original Helburg was built strong enough, and the ogre did not destroy it for a long time, and only needed some simple repairs to barely move in.

Although Richard didn't slap the sycophants in the right position every time, Saul was really generous enough to Richard.

In addition to a countdom, Saul also gave Richard a fief that exceeded the earl's specifications,

This fief included all the original territories of the Hel family as expected, and also brought a few noble territories that were destroyed when the ogres marched eastward.

These small territories are just between Hull Castle and Bander's Territory, which is equivalent to a narrow strip of land that will contain the current Demon Suppression Castle.

Taken together, the population under Richard's rule has exceeded one million, making it the second largest force in the Northlands after the Lancers.

Although the rest of the people were surprised by the size of the fief obtained by Richard, Richard's credit was solid after all, and it did not directly harm their interests, so no one raised objections.

The only possible opposition to the Lancer family was under the control of Lint at this time, and there was no objection, and Richard obtained the title of earl very smoothly, and also obtained more than the size of the territory, and even got the unlimited right to explore the wilderness.

What's more, after receiving the real title and territory, the heroic invincible building has also undergone certain changes,

A new week

Richard opened the interface of the Boulder Fort, and after recruiting new troops as usual, he found that in the building interface, the upgraded building of the council hall, the interior hall had been lit up,

This is the only building that can be built in the megalithic fort at present, and there is nothing to hesitate to build the interior hall directly.

"Home Office: 200 kinnars per week."

Two hundred kinnars a week was definitely good enough in the early stages of Richard's beginnings, but now it is a bit more interesting than nothing.

However, with the idea that something is better than nothing, Richard still upgraded the council chambers of Woods City and Boulder Fort to the Interior Hall, and the two sides together have an income of nearly two thousand kinnars a month, and there may be any important role in the future, but Richard did not find out.

…

In the big tent of the Chinese army,

Thor is still making arrangements before withdrawing his troops, although Grugosh has completely retreated into the wilderness, but it is impossible for the coalition led by Thor to leave directly, at least it will have to wait a few more days,

Richard sorted out the current Demon Suppression Castle, and after the Flying Bear Army was completely settled, Thor would lead the army to leave.

"Lord Thor, is the fief you gave Richard too big?"

When there was no one around, Kuz finally said that he was confused, and Kuz was also promoted from a baron to a viscount this time, but he always had to follow Thor around the territory that could not be in the northland, and added a manor around the royal capital,

Normally, whether Richard is strong or not in the Northland, he has nothing to do with Kuz, but although Kuzi can't say that he doesn't have his own mind at all, he is definitely loyal to the kingdom and a firm royal party.

Richard's ambition is almost written on his face, and he can feel it even if he understands it.

"It doesn't matter, he's loyal to my people."

People stand at different heights, and the way of looking at problems is different.

If the Golden Dragon Kingdom is dominant on this continent, there is no sharp blade like the Orc Kingdom that hangs over his head all the time, and Thor will limit the suppression even if he does not directly destroy Richard,

But now, when the Golden Dragon is about to betray the alliance and the foundation of the Golden Dragon Kingdom is about to be shaken, the appearance of a powerful and ambitious lord like Richard in the North is not a bad thing for Thor.

Some things are clear to Thor, he is a human first, and then the king's uncle, the dragon knight of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.

Richard's active performance in the war with ogres this time is also a great plus in Saul's eyes, at least in this major right and wrong, Richard is not picky,

If this time, for the sake of profit, Richard dares to sit back and watch the fall of Drifting Snow City and the destruction of the Lancet family, it will definitely usher in Thor's most resolute suppression.

As long as the righteousness is not compromised, ambition is acceptable to Thor, and under the huge threat of the orcs, Thor's bottom line has been pulled very low.

"What about Baron Dane?"

"It's okay, he's actually the most suitable commander for the River Valley Legion right now."

This is Saul's second, more incomprehensible arrangement,

Dane was directly sealed in the River Valley, regained his knighthood, and was reinstated as the commander of the River Valley Legion.

Where did you really fall and get up,

Saul's arrangement can be said to be unexpected and reasonable,

Dane's previous backlash had already cut him off from the nobles of the Valley, and Thor couldn't stay in the Valley for long, he didn't have the time, and it wasn't proper to continue to serve as the Governor of the Valley.

In order to prevent the garrison in the valley from being corrupted by the nobles of the city of Berley again,

Thor thought about putting Dane in the position of commander of the garrison in the valley again,

It is impossible for Dane, who has skipped a reverse, to gain the trust of the nobles of the valley again, this time Thor can accurately hit the nobles of the valley, and let the families pinch their noses and contribute money and food, all relying on Dane's half of the land snake to lead the way,

Dane has offended the nobles of the valley to the end, and when he returns to the valley again, he can only be a lonely minister, and honestly fulfill his responsibility to garrison and influence the valley for the kingdom.

"Let's go down and prepare, and in a few days, when the people of the Hunter family have completely gained a firm foothold, we should go back to the royal capital."

"Yes, sir."

Saul treats Kuzi and other cronies kindly, and Kuzi dares to speak directly if he has any questions, but the things that Saul has decided are absolutely unquestionable, and he will only resolutely carry them out.

…

Drifting Snow City, Ranster Hould

Lint is still sitting in front of the desk and dealing with government affairs, but these days are obviously much easier.

The main force of the Jingbei Army was now led by Sander and another corps commander to send the ogre out of the country with Thor, and Lint did not leave the city with the army.

At this time, he had just received the news about Thor's knighthood, he was not a knight, and this kind of thing would never be his turn.

After reading the letter silently, Lint muttered to himself:

"Wild Lord,

It's time to leave..."
